@milpai , that is an excellent point, I would like to see some "meat on the bone" and if someone wants to talk measurements, post some of your own and then lets talk. I would always try and get the room first, the speaker placement second, the pow... 
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?
@jerryg123 , as soon as I read your post something clicked. Use a tube based pre on my desktop system and I think a solid state dac/pre in the HT. I am leaning toward the Mac MB50.  
What is Your End Game System?

@prof  you are a long time member and I assumed too much, understood. If you look at my profile you will see a list of components I use, pics of my rig, and my room measurements. Would you be so kind to post something similar in your profile? I am...

@noske I am very interested in your system and data too, please post something. I hope you aren’t simply exaggerating either about your system or your IQ unless....

@prof I am very interested in your data, if you got it, post it in the system page in your profile. Otherwise I will let you go back to your rants. I really thought you could showcase something unless......  
Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass?
@bjp9738 , I am looking at the Mac MB50 streamer/preamp and the tips I got for a workaround from @carlsbad ​​​​@audiotroy have me thinking this will fit my needs. I am really intrigued by the Mac brand and am already using the DTS Play-Fi system t...
